What’s the cure for the nonstop go-go-go that comes with life’s hustle and bustle? This cozy retreat near the sea with family. Tucked away in lush ferns and towering trees, this charming cottage captivates guests with a storybook-esque setting to spend time with loved ones. The hero of this haven — the deck — bestows a secluded sanctuary to breathe in cool air from the ocean while sipping a warm cup of coffee. In addition, the home’s mid-town location and ample parking space allow a short walk to see Haystack Rock or shop downtown without having to park at either hotspot! Ready to enter your home away from home? Take but one step up through the crosshatch door into the entryway. As you turn left, the foyer leads to the open living room and kitchen. Kick back and relax in the living room with your feet on your choice of recliner or ottoman. The leather couch invites guests to snuggle with a blanket while your furry family member lies at your feet. Gather around the stone fireplace centerpiece for an evening of telling stories or watching movies after an incredible day outdoors. The barstools and splashy blue table in the bright, clean kitchen offer the perfect spot for eating breakfast together. Fully equipped with pots and pans, you can quickly whip up flapjacks with chocolate chips. The countertop yields plenty of space for a spread of appetizers or a game of cards. Rather skip cooking for dinner? Pelican Brewing serves a delicious crab mac & cheese dish just around the corner. If you’re looking forward to a restful night's sleep, you’re guaranteed to have one here. The three bedrooms reward weary souls with plump pillows and plush comforters. In addition, as the quarters lie on the other side of the home, you’ll have some added privacy from any talk or movement in the kitchen & living room area. The primary suite area delivers a stately queen bed and a convenient walk-in shower in the bathroom. The desk-dresser combo adds a space to work on a puzzle or read your favorite novel. Then, sneak outside to the deck with your honey for an evening with the stars! The two windows in the corner guest bedroom illuminate the twin beds with lots of natural light. The study also provides a space for journaling or video-calling a friend. The other bedroom, across from the second bathroom and laundry room, awaits guests with another comfy queen bed. You can greet the day with a quick run on the treadmill or doze off quickly on the rocking chair for a lazy afternoon. You’ll enjoy a tranquil stay in this home near the ocean without the commotion. From whales spouting mist to eagles swooping overhead, the wonders of wildlife at Cannon Beach make the trip even better. With many nearby downtown holiday festivities, live performances, and artsy craft fairs, you can create fun memories whenever you stay here.
